Abstract
Khorchin is spoken in China, mainly in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. This region counts about 4,426,000 Mongols, in other words 74% of the Mongolian population of China. However Mongolian represent only 17.1% of the total population of the autonomous region. Most Mongols are bilingual in Mongolian and Chinese, but in urban younger generations Mongolian language was disappearing, a trend that might be changing. The Khorchins constitute the majority group among the Mongolian population of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. They number 2,080,000, that is to say 52% of the Mongolian speaking population. They are particularly sinicized. The common official language of the Mongolians of China is not based on the Khorchin dialect, but on the Chakhar
